The Dunxian wuwei men says: “First, discerning the mind: speech is mind, seeing is mind, hearing is mind, sensing is mind, knowing is mind. This is the first awakening. Each capable of knowing, as many minds as there are, all are the one mind; the one mind can pervade all places. Second, knowing the body: it is identical to insentient matter; the body knows neither pain nor itch, good nor bad; everything is mind, and has nothing to do with the body; the mind can become human or animal, the mind can become fish or bird. Third, breaking down the body of the four great elements: the body is emptiness; emptiness is non-arising; emptiness has no inside, outside, or middle, and is free of all characteristics. Fourth, breaking down the five aggregates: if the form aggregate exists, the other four aggregates are not empty; if the form aggregate does not exist, how could the other four aggregates exist? Fifth, seeing the nature and achieving Buddhahood: serenely and constantly abiding.”
